NAME

       netPanzer - an online multiplayer tactical warfare game

SYNTAX

       netpanzer [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This  program is a free (GPL) isometric view real-time tactical game designed for play across the Internet and over LAN systems. One on one
       games are  possible via direct connect or modem.

       netPanzer is designed for FAST ACTION combat -- it is not another resource management clone. In fact, there aren't any  resources  at  all.
       Each  player  will  have many units of different types at their disposal. Players can fight until their units are destroyed -- then respawn
       and keep on going.

       The game is real-time, but it's based on quick tactical action and unit management. Battles progress quickly and constantly; in fact,  they
       never let up. There is no stop in the action because there is no waiting for resources to be collected and converted into weaponry. Players
       can join or leave  multiplayer games at any time.
